5 Life Lessons from Elon Musk

Elon Musk is a real icon and an inspiration for everyone. He is renowned for his work on the sustainability of humanity. Following are the five greatest lessons one can take from Elon Musk and his thriving journey. 

Never Give Up
No matter what our aim in life is, we should never give up. We learn this from Elon Musk’s journey that no matter how disastrous a thing may seem now, give it time. Set unrealistic deadlines for yourself, work hard and keep striving. Elon Musk does not believe is losing hope. In the initial stages when Tesla seemed like a disaster and people were already giving up on it, he stood by his dream. He worked day and night and made it a giant in the automobile industry. This did not take place overnight, but countless days and nights were spent in making efforts to make things right. Patience and effort is the key to success. 
Face your Fears
When Elon Musk decided that he wanted to be an entrepreneur, he challenged himself to survive each day with only $1. He did not give this challenge to himself because he was poor or dealing with paucity, he did so because this was his greatest fear before being an entrepreneur. He was conditioning himself to deal with this situation so that if he ever has a major loss in his business, he knows what is at stake and how to survive it. Similarly, the only way to get rid of our fears is to face them HEAD ON. 
Keep Working on Yourself
Elon Musk made sure that he keeps improving himself. Someone who has achieved so much in life, but he still questions himself. He believes it is very important to get feedback from yourself first. If you have done something, you have to see how you could do it better. Never settle for less and always keep improving. If you settle at when you have only given your 50%, you will never work hard enough where you will give your 100% and you will never know how that turns out. So always push yourself towards greatness and never settle for less. 
Keep Working Hard
We all dream and wish, but we get to experience them in real life only when we are working on them. Elon Musk worked day and night, he worked as if there was no tomorrow and this is the reason he is so successful now. We need to remember that hard work pays off, the result of hardworking is always fruitful and sooner or later it comes to our feat. 
It’s OK to Fail
How many times have we stopped ourselves from doing something because of the fear of failing? We don’t start a business because we fear we might lose all our money and fail. We are scared of approaching someone because of the fear of getting rejected. But what if, we win? If we will not even try, how will we know for sure? Elon Musk was scared and afraid of failure too. But he had made a proper plan for that too.​
